It’s Super Tuesday, and I am not going to know anything until I wake up tomorrow morning (there’s a 9 hour time difference between Madrid and California). I know there’s a Democrats Abroad event tonight in Madrid where people will be following the elections. But you wouldn’t catch me dead labeling myself a Democrat (or a Republican for that matter) or wanting to spend a long evening with a mass of people who did.
By the looks of things, Hillary will win but her lead will have been drastically reduced. It’s hard to measure the reality of things from what the press is saying because the press, like any other business, is trying to sell its “product” by creating suspense and drama and therefore hoping for a long drawn out campaign. Let’s just hope Obama will hold his own, and get important delegates to keep the hope alive. Sure, we can continue to live under the status quo. We can go back to the Clintons and the Bushs, but wouldn’t it be nice to mix it up a little. There’s got to be a better way.
At least after this cugino, it will leave room for the creation of a new party, that considering Clinton’s eventual nomination, will likely find membership, no issue at all:
Rational Anarchism. It’s the only hope. Members can officially call themselves “rappers”.
I think it has sales potential.
Could that be Bloomberg entering as an independent?
